Castra of Aradul Nou

During the Second Dacian War (105-106 AD) Trajan also occupied the lands north of Marisus and incorporated them into the province of Dacia Superior.

An auxiliary cohort possibly stationed later in this fort was responsible among other things for monitoring and securing the road connection from Micia to Partiscum,[2][3] which followed the southern bank of the river Mureș towards the northwest.

[2][3] Their bricks were often found on the lower reaches of Mureș, for example in Bulci, Cladova, Periam, Sânnicolau Mare and Szeged, which probably shows that the Romans had already brought this area under control at the beginning of their rule in Dacia.

The brick stamps are now in the Museum of Archaeology and History (Romanian Muzeul de Arheologie și Istorie), in Arad.

The entire archaeological site, and in particular the fort, are protected as historical monuments.
